field hockey isn't contact but i wouldn't call it a sport for wimps. until you're out there its hard to realise just how fast people are swinging large wooden (well there all fancy fiber glass and polymers now days) sticks at a ball a quarter of a foot away from your shin. then said ball travels very fast at someone else's shins.Welcome Janna and Shrike. Hope you both enjoy the forums!
And I'm pretty sure there is contact in hockey... unless I've been playing the true unpussified Canuck version...
I had asked a while back the difference between field hockey and lacrosse a page or so backI said hockey, not field hockey... hockey is the term reserved for ice hockey. Field hockey is seperate.
Hockey was mentioned...Lacrosse is a contact sport, is it not? Hockey is non-contact.
